InfoWorks WS Pro allows you to model pumping stations and pumps. Pumps are widely used in water supply systems and mostly fall into three groups:
Pumping stations are often complex, with a lot of information required for them to perform successfully in a model.
In InfoWorks WS Pro, a generalized model of pumping stations is introduced.
InfoWorks WS Pro assumes a check valve (a non-return valve) on the pressure side of each pump. There is also an option to include a bypass pipe that allows flow around the station in the same direction when all pumps are stopped.
To model an existing pump, you will need to know at least three values:
These values allow you to use a synthetic, or estimated, pump curve. Ideally, you would be provided a full manufacturer’s pump curve.
